he asked for Riddles pocket knife,
which was given him when he thrust
the open blade into Riddles right leg

The Ballefonte Daily NeicS OF
Tuesday gives the following account Of
how a citizen Of Coburn, who wanted
pension money ,personated his own wit
nesses. but was caught la the trick and
arrested:
John Ernst, a citizen of Cohurn, is in
trouble because his desire to procure a
pension led him TO commit forgery and
perhaps perjury. John Ernst is partial
| ly deaf, which afllction. he says was
caused by his experience in the war, as
a member of Company ID, 10Th Reg't.,
| Z. v. 1t is necessary tC have witness
es in regard to such disabilities, and
either because he could not get them or
| because it was too much trouble to do
so, John unwisely concluded to do all
the business himself.
Accordingly, it is alleged, he went to
Squire J. s. Lesser, in Snyder Co., and
under the name of Isaac G.. Mussul-
man, a member of his company, made
affidavit in his own behalf. 1t is also
said that he went before Squire J. &.
Boal, in Centre Hall, and there, over
the name of William Walter, Of Wood
ward, averred that he was deaf when he
came form the army and had been deaf
ever since. He made similar affidavit
before Squire Samuel ], Herring, at
Penn Hall, there personating William
Keiser. Still other similar fraudulent
afiidayits are alleged against Ernst.
The matter was Investigated by United
States Commissioner McDevitt of Sun
bury, who made complaint and Ernst
was arrested. He was taken to Will.
Transport, where he will be detained un-
til the meeting Of the next United
States Court in that city.
